what JOY!!

Mom,

i loved the email this week!!! i think my companion thinks that i am a little strange because after reading the email i was laughing and going a little crazy with joy!!

that is so awesome that jud graduated!!! i cant believe that they adjourned the graduation to the sand dunes to see him jump his bike!! its so cool! and he busted a super man!!! i wish that i could have been there to listen to his speech also. it has sure been a long process but it is now completely over. i bet that he is so happy and ready to move on with life now. thats funny that he finds himself a little lost during the day because everything isnt all planned out any more. im sure that its gonna be like that for me when i get home also.

its good to hear that everyone is doing good and enjoying life. Arien enjoying the summer break, ty and dad working hard and mom feeling better each day. (ty bought another yoda. tell him to send me pictures of it.)

thats cool that you were able to go up the canyon for the weekend for that wedding. the canyon is so pretty during this time of year. did you see chelsey there also?

things are continuing to go great here. we did have a baptism last week but it wasnt rejanes son. he needed a little more time but this sunday he should be ready. the baptism was a girl named amanda that has been going to church for a long time and we just taught her everything and she accepted baptism. it was a nice meeting and her mom even came to watch. she doesnt agree with the church to much but she was nice enough to let her daughter be baptized.

so my chances of going to foz do iguaço are gone. the place that has the biggest waterfalls in the world. it now makes part of another mission. it was cut out of the brazil curitiba mission. all the elders that were there are now with the other mission also. i wanted to go out there but i guess it doesnt matter. im not here to look at waterfalls!

i love you guys. have a great week!!!
